Shopping#10 — Skull Kitsch

Before we proceed with the ever-growing queue of still-to-be-posted outfits, I’ll show you some of my (relatively) recent purchases for the summer season. They are not the hippie sort of thing that I usually wear when the temperature goes above 25º, but they definitely have the adequate vibe for the pre-summer months (a.k.a. that time of the year when I mostly wear cowboy stuff).

Bershka ‘Our Lady of Skulls’ tank top

A grey tank-top from Bershka with a fancy comic style Our Lady of Guadalupe/Santa Muerte print that looks pretty cool. It’s quite big, but not impossible to wear with some adjustments… and with something underneath, preferably — I’m honestly not prepared to try the Taylor Momsen nipple-tape thing… especially in summer LOL

 

 

Skull & roses T-shirt

This is an extremely cheap T-shirt from the flea market, but that’s exactly what makes it so perfect. Only a genuinely cheap design like this one could capture the skull kitsch concept in its full dimension. I mean, come on: it has a huge skull; it has roses; it has tiny crystal incrustations... What else do you need? The only problem about this T-shirt (aside from it being extremely flammable LOL) is that it’s huge like a f*cking sheet! And it doesn’t have the easiest colour palette either… I’m gonna have a bit of a hard time trying to figure out how to wear it, but I’m sure the result will be awesome :D

[If you’re wondering why you didn’t see the crystals on the skull T-shirt in the picture above, it’s because I accidentally hung it from the reverse side. It has the same print on both sides, so I didn’t even realize until the mess was done LOL]

I bet this T-shirt would look awesome with my denim New York dream-jacket. One day it’ll be mine – I promise! LOL

Misc. bracelets

All these bracelets come from the flea market as well. They all have a really cool, very Motörhead-friendly biker/cowboy/rocker design, which encompasses quite a wide range of my styles. Something tells me I will be using these a lot… In fact, I already have :P

[“WTF you’re looking at?” LOL]

Shopping #9 – Happy Birthday!

Jesus Christ! I just realized it’s been almost a month since my birthday, and I still haven’t taken time to post my birtdhay gifts! Can you believe that? Thankfully, it’s not too late to correct that – I still have a few months left before my next birthday comes around LOL

This year, my birthday gifts were all fashion-related… and extremely cool ;)

Spiked creepers

I’ve wanted to have a pair of creepers for a veeeeery long time, and this particular pair is SO amazing I don’t even know what to say *O* Plus, they have a double platform, which makes them extra-cool. I love ‘normal’ creepers as well, but these are just so edgy and threatening! They strongly remind me of Juria Nakagawa (one of Harajuku’s current street-style superstars) and her love for spiky platform shoes. I can easily imagine her wearing these, and I can’t wait to start doing the same :D

 

Silver jacket

This cool silver biker jacket is pretty futuristic. It makes me think of Bill Kaulitz back in 2007-2008. I’m not sure if he had one but… oh, wait… :D

 

Denim cowboy jacket

100% genuine cowboy kitsch. It makes me think of something Dolly Parton might have worn back in the 70s… or maybe right now! LOL It’s a little big for me, but it still looks great, and it will fit perfectly with my future cowboy looks :D

 

Sons Of Anarchy T-shirt

This one doesn’t need much explanation. It’s an authentic Sons Of Anarchy T-shirt! *___* You all know how much I love Sons Of Anarchy. Now, the rest of the world will know it too :D

Bizarre futuristic leggings

These leggings are really curious. I still don’t know if I’ll be able to wear them out in street or not, but you can be well sure I’ll try ;) These totally remind me of Bill’s gothic chicken (that’s how some fans called it LOL) look at the DSQUARED fashion show. He reused those trousers many times after that, and even wore them on stage during the (extremely short) South American leg of the Welcome To Humanoid City Tour.

 

My leggings also have a retro-futuristic 70s feel (which is present in the outfits DSQUARED designed for that tour as well) that takes me back to the cosmic age, when Lemmy Kilmister played in Hawkwind and KISS were still a young band trying to make it big.

 

Nails Inc. London Crackle Effect top coat & Magnetic Polish

More nail polish for my collection! The first one is very similar to Opi’s Shatter top coat, but it has a more liquid consistence, which makes the cracks a little bit thinner, even though the difference is hard to appreciate at first sight :P

 

[Opi on the left, Nails inc. on the right ;)]

The second one looks pretty interesting. I’ve often seen it advertised in British magazines, and I’ve always felt curious about it, but I never thought I’d actually have the chance to try it, since they don’t sell it in Spain. I only hope my first experience with it won’t turn out to be a disaster! LOL

24 years don’t feel so heavy on days like these ;)

Shopping #8 – Animalize!

Here are some relatively recent purchases of mine. As you can see, they all have a common theme ;)

MNG animal print gloves and scarves. I looove this pack of gloves and scarves from Mango. They were all ridiculously cheap (they cost like 3 € each LOL), and they will sure help me create amazing dandy outfits =D

From what I’ve seen, it looks like animal print accessoires are a big trend in Harajuku this year…

 

 

 

Some take it further and even go for animal print pants!

…and not only in Harajuku ;)

Golden plastic spider necklace. You might remember this little friend from the last Halloween season… Only it’s not this friend, exactly, but its silver twin. It’s really amazing that they still have these necklaces in the same store one year later. Probably, it’s because there isn’t a lot of people who buy them, but for me they are just perfect :D

Now, the biggest challenge will be finding the way to top my Voodoo Dandy outfit. I'm afraid it won't be easy :P
